44 makes 43 look like a cheapskate

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
When George W. Bush was president, I frequently complained to anyone who would listen that “he spent money like a Democrat.” I retrospect I was proven wrong by the American public who, in their infinite wisdom elected “one-term” Barack Obama.…

Twisting the truth on bailouts and banks

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I accept Z. Dwight Billingsly’s opinion pieces as being heavily slanted to the right. What is troubling is his use of distortion and erroneous claims to support his opinions. “Goldman Bunuses” is a case in point. He implies that the…

About as un-American as you can get

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I wonder if Chrysler is using our stimulous money for the wrong things. How many politicians did they buy with it?? They must own some of them.
Our politicians are letting them move the Fenton operation to Mexico. They talk bad…

Dude, where’s my accountability?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Months after taking billions in taxpayer funded bailout monies, a number of banks, and their mortgage servicing subsidiaries are still refusing to help homeowners save their houses for foreclosure.  As we continue to read about massive bonuses and other wasteful…

First, let me establish the fact that I respect the office of the President.  I respect you as a person and the model you provide for families and fathers.  I do suspect; however, based on your…

No sympathy for car dealers

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I have very little sympathy for the plight that currently confronts our auto dealers.
Forever car salespeople and dealerships have been methodically and systematically ripping off the car buying public. One does not drive a car off the lot unless it’s…

Politicians are not business experts

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

It begins. In exchange for bailout money, the federal government foolishly demanded 60% ownership of GM, which automatically gives Congress and the President the expertise to run car companies. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Rockefeller said, “I honestly don’t believe…

Free enterprise is in danger in the United States

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 Our free enterprise, capitalistic economic system is headed down a slippery slope now that the federal government has become involved in part ownership in both the banking and auto manufacturing business. The danger of ”creeping socialism” is rearing its ugly head. What industry that…

No bailout for California

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 Although the California tea-party story was not even covered by the Post-Dispatch, it was a major story in the mainstream media and will continue to be for some time.  I know I am not as smart as tax-cheat Tim Geither…

On Memorial Day 2009, wondering about Memorial Day 2010

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

As we prepare to observe Memorial Day 2009, I cannot help but wonder what the United States will be like next Memorial Day. Will we have a memorial for the country as we once knew it?

The president wants to treat…
